Re-using the same assets from the previous game is something of a Fallout tradition. I can appreciate the advantage of using the same textures and models too: it means less time and manpower being wasted on reinventing basics like landscape textures and common pieces of armour. Instead, more work can be done on adding assets unique to the game.

Too many people in this thread whining over nostalgia and how fallout isn't like 1&2 anymore.

Anyway new vegas looks like it'll be awesome, i loved fallout 3 and i don't give a shit if some nerds from no mutants allowed rage over it.

For someone who doesn't give a shit about how people are receiving a game, you don't seem to have much to contribute other than announcing it to anyone who cares. Most people don't by now. New Vegas is already getting a much more positive reception from both new and old Fallout fans.

Get the fuck over it and for goodness sake, let that template on attacking fans of the old games die. Having to skim through it just to see the same belligerent, ignorant claptrap regurgitated again is the real insult.

We'll see. After a hundred hours playing vanilla Fallout 3, I can see where you're coming from. Next to apparel and environments so similar to FO3, it's like looking at a vaguely M4-shaped hole where a G3A3 lookalike should be.
